If you’re wondering where to buy cardstock for your scrapbooking projects, I’ve picked out some beautiful cardstock from Amazon for you to look at.

By buying online, you can get these heavier weight paper shipped to your doorstep. You can take your time to select your paper colors, as it can get a bit overwhelming to shop for paper by standing at the aisles and staring endlessly at the paper choices.

Take your time to browse through different types of card stock at your laptop, tablet or smartphone screen. And Amazon does offer one of the best prices around.

You can even get to read some reviews if you’re unsure about the card stock choice you’re making.

You can use it as the background paper, you can use it to mat your photos, you can draw, stamp, color on it and then use it as an embellishment.

When it comes to white, there’s a good number of ways you can use it in your scrapbook projects.

Below are some white cardstock. Most of these are good smooth cardstock. If you’re looking for textured cardstock, check out the one by Bazzill Basics.

Glitter cardstock certainly adds a degree of sophistication to your scrapbooking layouts. Different textures enhance the cardstock in different ways, and glitter is a great way to add some shine and sparkle. Just look at how pretty the colors are.

Make Some Cardstock Flowers

You can also use your cardstock and transform them into pretty blooms for your scrapbook layouts.

If you create a bunch of them in assorted colors, you will have a collection of cardstock flowers to embellish your pages as you fancy.

I’ve found a video which will show you step by step to creating cardstock flowers. The woman used three different sized punches to punch out the circles, and used another tool to make the flower circles curled up a little by the edges.

Maybe my laptop speaker volume wasn’t loud enough, I couldn’t hear the woman’s voice very clearly but I could follow along her action steps well.

If you don’t want to spend money on buying circle punches or the curling tool, you can always buy premade cardstock flowers to dress up your layouts pretty.
